Page 16 1． Open the programming software，choose your target squelch lever in from 1 – 9. The lever is higher, the disturbance is less, but it has some influence on the working distance 2． The squelch system can eliminate the back noise when it is not receiving signals.
Page 17 Time-out timer 1. Open the programming software, and choose the target time in . The aim of the time-out timer is to avoid any caller occupying the frequency too long and damages by long- time launch. 2．You can set the time-out timer by programming software from”closed,30s,60s,90s,120s,150s,180s,...600s”.
Page 18 are: closed, Chinese and English. If you choose the Chinese/ English, to turn the channel snob when the transceiver is power-on, it will report the current channel; if you choose the closed, the transceiver won’t report the channel. Scan The distributor and manufacturer can set the scan function by PC software, the option on the software is “Scan”.
Page 19 activated by itself. For instance, if the scan function of channel 3,5,7 was activated by PC software programming, when you rotate the channel selector to channel 16, the transceiver will scan channel 3,5,7,16, when receive signal from one of these four channels, it will stop scanning, and talk on this channel.
Page 20 channel at once. Busy channel lock 1．Open the programming software to choose the function in There are close, CTCSS and carrier as choices. Only when the channel has set the CTCSS, it allows choosing CTCSS busy channel lock 2． CTCSS busy lock: it won’t stop transmitting when there is SQ and no QT/DQT.

Page 22 “wide/narrow” to choose the suitable band for the current channel. CTCSS QT/ DCS DQT 1． Open the programming software， click the “receive dicate” and “transmit dicate” to choose the CTCSS QT/ DCS DQT for the current channel or close 2．If some channel has set the CTCSS/DCS signal, it can open the squelch only when using the same CTCSS or DCS signals.
